‘I Don’t Know If I’m Allowed To Say This’: Austin Butler Reveals His Early Reaction To Jeremy Allen White’s Bruce Springsteen Biopic

by

Among film adaptations about musicians, Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in “Deliver Me from Nowhere” is generating a lot of anticipation among film enthusiasts. With the movie set for release in 2025, sneak peeks have showcased White convincingly assuming the role of “The Boss,” and his acting has already captured attention. Even Austin Butler, known for his role in “Elvis,” has had a chance to preview the movie before its release.

Butler has been making media appearances for Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming movie titled “Caught Stealing“, where he co-stars with Zoë Kravitz. After that, he will appear in the crime film produced by A24, called “Enemies“, alongside Jeremy Allen White. In a recent clip from “The Tonight Show“, he confessed that he has already had the opportunity to see White’s portrayal as Bruce Springsteen. The actor was quite generous with his praise, but it seems he might have overstepped some boundaries while doing so.

I watched Jeremy’s movie featuring Springsteen yesterday, and let me tell you, he was outstanding! The film is fantastic, and I simply can’t get enough of him. He’s truly impressive.

Praising the performance of an actor from the film “Bikeriders” isn’t common, but Butler’s portrayal of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 movie has been exceptionally praised and received much acclaim in recent years. His transformation into the music legend was so convincing that I hardly recognized him in the role. The film itself is extravagant, but Butler manages to shine brilliantly amidst all the spectacle. Watching his performance is awe-inspiring. It’s particularly noteworthy when an actor like him acknowledges another performer for mastering a similar challenge – it’s a genuine compliment.

In the realm of portraying musicians in musical biographical films, Jeremy Allen White finds himself stepping into roles previously made iconic. Over the past few years, these kinds of films have served as a platform where many actors have delivered standout performances.

Known for his victory at the Oscars, Rami Malek portrayed Freddie Mercury in the film “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and Timothée Chalamet gained recognition from SAG for his exceptional role as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown” last year. It’s also important to mention Taron Egerton’s performance in “Rocketman.

Moreover, during the interview, Butler shared that many of the actors involved in these projects have communicated and even exchanged advice, suggesting that they form a sort of supportive network, which is quite charming.

I’m already thrilled about watching White as Springsteen, but Butler’s endorsement has me even more eager! The movie focuses on the recording of the influential Nebraska album, a key moment in Springsteen’s early career. White has demonstrated his skills in series like Shameless and The Bear, while films such as The Iron Claw have shown he can really stretch himself. Plus, with supporting roles by heavyweight actors like Jeremy Strong and Paul Walter Hauser, Deliver Me From Nowhere promises to be a truly captivating watch. I have a feeling this one will dominate conversations during the upcoming Oscar season!

Fans of Austin Butler and Jeremy Allen White will have to wait a bit longer to watch them together in “Enemies”, since the movie is slated for release next year. But don’t worry, you can catch Jeremy Allen White in “Deliver Me From Nowhere” much sooner! This film will be available in cinemas across the country on October 24th, 2025. Meanwhile, Austin Butler fans can look forward to his new movie, “Caught Stealing”, hitting the big screen on August 29th this year.
